(WXMI) - Charles Jordan decided in September of 2020 that he had to do something to try and bring some light into a world that just seemed to be getting darker by the day. He started to share a simple message with the strangers he ran into throughout his days â"Excuse me... I know I don't know you, but with everything going on in the world right now, I just want you to know that I love you, I respect you, and if I have to, I will protect you."
